Against "Simultaneous Logout Measures"

[Aniya_Estlihn]

Well, they will only make things worse with this new measure. The queues are bad enough as is, but forcibly logging everyone out and shoving literal tens of thousands back into a queue after a ten minute time-frame across an entire bloody data center is not the solution they should look to be implementing. This is just ridiculous, plain and simple and I really do hope it blows up in their faces in the most negative way possible, especially when the queues that exist after the forced boot will be nearly impossible to get through on larger servers because the worlds will max out almost instantly.

I'm sure that it will be just before raid time, to annoy players as much as possible

Can we not just wait and see? My gawd it is like WHM changes all over again. Yes it might be terrible. But it might not be. Judge it when you can truely judge it, in action.

Yes, because SE will be sure to coordinate with every single raider to find the perfect time.

This very FORUM has made posts asking Square-Enix to do EXACTLY THIS.... And now everyone seems upset that they actually listened.

What a time to be alive.

I don't recall EVER seeing a SINGLE post on here demanding SE do a mass kick of ENTIRE DATA CENTERS due to a few people circumventing the (temporary) AFK kick timer.

People asked for them to patch the timer so as it would kick those who were AFK crafting/talking to an NPC. Not kick EVERYONE who is actually playing the game.

While I can't speak for everyone, I think I can say there are a lot of people that are frustrated with SE already due to all the Duty Finder/Solo Instance crap that went on during Early Access, to the way SE is supposedly handling these ongoing issues (because I keep hearing reports of DF still acting up), how they're supposedly handling this "massive DDoS Attack" they're (again, supposedly) experiencing, and just with some of their decisions in general. So I think a lot of this indignation wouldn't be as bad if we had not already dealt with so much garbage since Stormblood's EA launch.

My question is are we 100% positive AFK abusers are the issue and not just the server being overpopulated? Also why does this have to affect small servers at all? The longest wait I ever saw on Exodus was about 1000 after server wide disconnects during SB launch. I understand it is worse on big servers but smaller servers shouldn't be subjected to this as well.

Or it could be like the tank changes and a total disaster like all the tank players like to say they are.

Actually I do remember a post where someone suggested exactly this. I do not care to go searching for it though. It's in one of those queue complaints threads.

Bullshit !

We transfered to one of your new server and now we have hours queue too because of you stupid idea to offer 2 weeks free for players reaching lvl 30 on a new server !
The low lvl zones are crowed with people farming to get that free time, remove that instead of your stupid idea, no more congestions !

Clearely won't take new sub and go to other MMO instead

Very much true.
Its most likely to happen during the day, where people mostly afk.
Its not going to happen during prime time.
Its probably making things better.

Check wether the world is really shaped like a banana before claiming its flat.
